Wait a minute. Did they post or subscribe? The taboo stuff only works on
mail to lists, not to Majordomo. You keep them from subscribing by
requiring approval for every subscribe (subscribe_policy = closed). The
taboo_headers can only keep them from posting, but you need to escape
the '@' and '.' to keep Perl from trying to interpolate an array
"@company", which is certainly null, and bouncing all mail on every list
from any address in the "com" domain.
/^from:.*\@company\.com/i
